Trump And...We're Off! Correcting the veritable fire hose of misinformation and just plain dumbassery is exhausting. And frankly, after the first four years of trying, everyone is just plain worn out.
Trump Always Look on the Bright Side of Trump "What a delight it would be for the once and future president to turn and see Ms. Obama on the front row in one of those QAnon Shaman headdresses."
Trump Dawn of the Don “No president has ever been convicted as much as me. Historians tell me they’ve never seen anything like this. Grown men with tears in their eyes come up to me on the street and say, ‘Sir, sir... we are just so impressed. We’ve just never had a convicted president before. This is a first.’”
World History When Stupid is Dangerous History is often seen as an outline of man's continual advancement through time. In reality, it's one dumb, arrogant stumble after another.
Trump Only One President At a Time? How Quaint. One presumes, knowing flattery is the ultimate diplomatic tool with this guy, that Macron, Trudeau, and even Scarborough are just being prudent and rubbing the big fella's belly, cooing like he was a pet poodle.
Election A Duty to Warn Joe Kennedy ALLEGEDLY bought off the mob in Chicago to assure JFK's victory. he U.S. Supreme Court gave Bush the win when recounts in Florida were shut down. And now there's Donald Trump...
Election Angry America Republicans get votes during strong economies because “voters are more willing to take risks and therefore more likely to elect Republicans, who favor lower taxes.” Americans believe the myth that Republicans are better for jobs, economy, and taxes and Democrats are big spenders and bigger taxers.
Election Surprise! and Welcome Trump 2.0! It was awful, and as all of our progressive friends are wringing their hands and rightfully telling us, 'it's gonna get awfuller.'
Election America, You Amaze Me Sometimes When the phrase "Hobson's Choice" doesn't begin to cover it.
Texas Politics What's the Matter with Texas? “The rest of this country’s lost its goddamned mind,” I heard one of them say. “They say he is gonna win again.” "I’d sure as hell let him know we don’t like the idea of no damn n****r in our White House. Don’t matter how much time he spent at Harvard, he’s still a n****r and it ain’t right.”
Election Too Little, Too Late to Change This The inflation that occurred during and after the pandemic when supply chains imploded, hasn't completely come down. Since supply is not the issue, one might reasonably ask, why? And more importantly, what can Trump or Harris do about it?
Election A Turbulent and Troubled Land "We refuse to own our history, to learn from it, and cannot know who we truly are as a people or what binds us as a nation, because we have been hiding from ourselves for too long."
Trump Another Week in Political Paradise "To anyone new to this country trying to figure out our political decision-making practices, I simply want to apologize. It didn't used to be this way."
Election Donny is Done The most confounding element of this election is the ability of the MAGAts to listen to Trump speak and still consider giving him their vote. His speeches are filled with his strange non-sequiturs and speech pathologies that would have him sent to a rest home by most families.
Election Don't Argue! I Know What I Know! "Why are so many of us impervious to actual facts? Why do we simply take someone's word for anything, particularly when shown they are wrong? By wrong, I mean lying."
Trump Little Johnny's Sex Change "Out of all the senile rantings the Republican presidential candidate spouts off, the 'trans surgery at schools' trope clearly establishes his disconnect from reality and the psychotic break he has undergone."
Election They're Eating the Windows! They're Eating the Gas Stoves! "This is the time that candidates go all out and throw everything against the wall to see what sticks. But there is a difference between a Hail Mary and just projectile vomiting random dreck like a sick freshman at a fraternity kegger. So, why do people believe this claptrap?"
Trump Useful Idiots Yeah, it's Russia, Russia, Russia again. That's only because it is. It's as though Reagan said, "Mr. Gorbachev, do whatever the hell you want with this wall."
Election Death Branding and Other Cons "It is all marketing and brand because the reason people choose things 98 percent of the time is not rational. It’s emotional."
Trump A Garden of Stone Arlington National Cemetery was supposed to be their last place of sanctuary. Surely, no politician would ever dare think to produce a campaign commercial. Who walks among those gardens of stone and contemplates themselves? Had America ever produced such a politician?
Election The Campaign We Deserve? There are so many issues to confront - domestic and foreign. Inflation is down to 2.5% and will come down more when the Fed cuts interest rates in the Fall. I just filled up at $2.69 a gallon. GDP grew at 3% this past month. Border arrests are at a 4 year low. Campaign on that, for heaven's sake!
Trump Lying All Along the Line "Trump often looked constipated or maybe he was grimacing at the memories of how he had been diminished to a punch line by speakers in Chicago. He was cuddling up next to his favorite issue, snuggled there with his lies about how he had built 400 miles of wall on the border."
